Any chance you can add a "hover" or a decimal point to the reputation score?   

Ah, the old scare tactics.

(I'm serious with this post)

If I make it big, I want to build a temple in Edmonton for worshippers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.    Church is a great place to socialize, but the brainwashing always kept me away.

This way I get to make fun of the gullible fools while enjoying all the benefits, such as no taxation. 

Free spaghetti will be served to all those who hunger. 

Clearly a marketing stunt.

It's been done before.

You may want to lock this thread then - unless you are in the habit of giving away interest for no reason.


P.S. to everyone - don't go into debt to prove you love your family/friends.

Yes, it is not killing many directly, but the symptoms can be dangerous and it can kill much more easily if there is no hospital available due to overcrowding.

Many more people are going to die from the financial crisis the virus caused.  :/

I roll my eyes when people mention that masks did nothing to prevent the Spanish Flu, because the masks in 1918 were so porous you could see the holes in them.   

Me neither.  But we have been in crypto for years.  We associate DeFi to tokens and gaming.

But think about the average person on the street.  Explain how bitcoin works and the term "Decentralized Finance" describes it perfectly.

Did you know that 82.7% of numbers are just made up?

I've said my piece - I'll respect your request and wait to see how it develops. 

Just please don't ask for any bitcoin until you have an actual product. 

Are you an actual registered company, or just some kids with an idea?

Also, which major dealerships are you partnered with in the Dallas area?

I would say you are wrong.   I have always been in IT so I've always had a faster computer than the lounges.   I don't know a single friend who has ever visited a lounge either.   But, just having turned 50, I can't speak for the next couple generations. (I do like your imaginary 30 though!)

Gaming Lounges are dying.  They were useful at a time when bandwidth did not allow high quality multiplayer games.   But now a garage LAN party can be set up in minutes rather than hours, and streaming services such as Steam allow anyway to play/watch anything else without being there.

You are also a lot less likely to get financing if you split your business model like that.   Forget lounges, with the high rent, the viruses, the crime, etc and concentrate on an online system.   If you are locked on the lounge industry, teach rather than do.   Your website can focus on resources for planning and executing events and eventually you'll receive advertising from the industry!

Love to chat more on this.

Actually Joel, it's just a basic 3D environment using a commercial engine.   The video does not show any type of customization.   :/

That domain could have sold for six figures, but associating it with a ponzi destroyed that.  :/

I believe Theymos should moderate obvious bullshit trust on the key DT members.  Looking at my list, you would think I am a scammer.   How many people will take the time to investigate that it's all revenge for exposing scams?

When you check out the trust of this user, you'll understand he probably didn't do any of these designs.

To this community, DeFi may mean just another series of scams; use of legit bitcoin for illegit means.

But I believe the world at large views Defi as Decentralized Finance - of which bitcoin is a part of.  WE made the association between a very generic term and a specific type of transferable asset.

So I'm saying we should be careful badmouthing DeFi outside of established community, because it may inhibit crypto growth.

If you know a way millions of people can get water besides walking for hours on end, quit bitcointalk and become rich in politics.

The people may want to live sustainably, but I think we are way past the point of no return.

I bet you a dollar that the middle class will vanish before 2030.   There will be the ultra rich defending their property against the  hordes of starving people.


Sorry to hear about your loss.   Most bitcoin thieves probably have long criminal records - that's been my experience investigating scammers.  I know that gives you little comfort. 

I'd be very interested as to how this planet can support billions wanting more land while most major centers are running out of fresh water.

A population adjustment is something I've been expecting for over a decade.   Technology has helped but it can only go so far. 

If you have a place to go, follow the masses and leave the cities.

P.S.   Bitcoin cannot buy food if there is no food to buy.

Settlers of Catan is one of the best selling games of all time. 

Much like Harry Potter and Pokemon, Niantic is turning Catan into a geolocation game!

Post here if you are interested in playing when it comes out.  Not sure how the teams will work. 

I don't think this would ever go mainstream.

I played Ingress for a few years.   There were location spoofers everywhere.  Niantic could catch them by movement anomalies (move >10m in a second in a wooded area) but if you don't need to keep your game open all the time and just start it after you spoof your location they can't detect that.   Crypto investors would not stick around long.

I've spent my life in service to others.  Even after I could not work due to medical reasons, I still volunteered at the hospitals directing traffic from a chair during the start of the pandemic.

I've had some odd reactions from people who are shocked by random acts of kindness.  Society has changed so much in just thirty years.  I hope a massive population readjustment doe to hunger will "reset" people's attitude's that their family is the ONLY thing that matters.
